Lyrics:
I want my missing links ...
"Now look at them Dodos" -- that's the way they view us
They say that Christians are a dead species
Then they worship -- macroevolution
Monkeys for uncles in your history
Now, that ain't workin' -- after we refute it
Then they tell you -- the Bible's dumb
Maybe then your sister was a ring-tailed lemur
Maybe then a lizard was your mum
They've got to insult us to sway others
Because they're missin' the missin' links
They've got to lose the Originator
They've got to prove these other theories
That little maggot with the earwig and the stinkbug
They're buggies, but listen here
That little maggot could become an X-man
That little maggot needs a billion years
They've got to insult us to sway others
Because they're missin' the missin' links
They've got to use their imaginations
They've got to prove these other theories
Sure they mean well ...
Huh?
They've got to insult us to sway others
Because they're missin' the missin' links
Get God removed from the situation
They've got to prove these other theories
They should've learned they're playin' with fire
They could get burned, but they get numb
Look at that drama they got from trickin' us with Java Man
Ain't that guy handsome?
And what's up with that? Who's that?
Why's that annoy us?
There ain't no right and wrong -- we're like the chimpanzees
Oh, that ain't workin' -- macroevolution
Monkeys for uncles in your history
Listen up
Oh, that ain't workin' -- that's the way I view it
I beg to differ on your empty theory
That ain't workin' -- that's no way to prove it
Get your monkeys for uncles in your history
Monkeys for uncles -- history
Monkeys for uncles -- missing links
I want my, I want my, I want my missing links
I want my, I want my, I want my missing links
Romans 1:21
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Weird Al at least gets in contact with artists he parodies. I doubt Dire Straits even knows this exists. Mark only let Al parody this song if he could play guitar on it. I doubt these guys got permission.9 years ago

Whether evolution is a real force working throughout the history of life or is all just wild guess work is not relevant to the truth of Jesus Christ. If evolution is proven to be true, then that will not make the junkie who overcame his addiction through Christ go back to slamming junk in his arm. As they say "The proof is in the results". Walk into any Church and ask everyone who has overcome some major problem through Christ to stand up and the majority of the people will. But how many people can say that they kicked a drug addiction because science convinced him monkeys evolved into humans?9 years ago

The radical evolutionist fanatics will not like this. They hate when anyone pokes fun at their false religion. They may try to pass laws to make sure this can't be done in the future.9 years ago

Jesus Christ died for us! Ephesians 2:8,9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. James 2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. How to be saved: Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. To accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, ask Him into your heart and He will save your soul! "Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. Forgive me of all my sins! I repent of my sins. I believe you died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day for me. I now receive you as my personal Lord and Savior! In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!"9 years ago

but ignoring the idiocy the parody *is not* well made.the guitar playing is sloppy as fuck, there are times where the sound is weak when it is supposed to be strong.The drums to this are pretty simple so they are hard to screw up, along with the bass (even though its presents is not even close to the original)and before you say "they obviously aren't as talented as dire straights" that's a given, but they have to at least pay some respect.Weird Al, love him or hate him at least did his best to make sure that the instrumentals were recreated with respect. when he recorded smells like Nirvana, he could have put a million different shots at Kurt's sloppy (at let's face it, bad) guitar playing, but he didn't he made the song pitch perfect and used attention to detail.9 years ago

So a scientific theory which is more mathematically complex than most people could even comprehend is being argued by people who found "holes" as if it is a bad fictional story? Is that not hilarious. if you believe in god then do so but don't act like science is wrong because you are a closed minded fuck.why do these people allow science to be competition with their beliefs anyway?Related Videos
